De Mars, Stellingmill in De Blesse, Netherlands.

De Mars rises above the Frisian landscape with four common sails spanning 18.20 meters each, mounted on a three-story brick base at Steenwijkerweg.

The original mill from 1834 operated as a grondzeiler without a brick base until modifications in the late nineteenth century added the current foundation.

This Rijksmonument combines elements from different Dutch mills, including parts from De Zwarte Haan drainage mill and the Olle Widde from Groningen.

Visitors can observe the milling process on Fridays between 13:00 and 18:00, with additional opening hours indicated by a blue flag at the entrance.

The mill cap installed in 1999 originated from a German mill in Neustadtgödens-Wedelfeld, creating an international connection in Dutch milling heritage.
